Rick A Abelson, OD

I have been seeing Dr. Abelson for about five years! At my first visit I could finally truly see. He is a wonderful Doctor. And he has Saturday hours — thank you!
The additions of Rose and Meredith in the font office — make the whole experience a pleasant and easy one!

Love the Dr can’t stand the front desk person Rose. Extremely Rude!!! I have a hyphenated last name and she told me she didn’t have time to look for my file when I told her it may be under mine or my husbands. I’m sorry I thought that was your job.
When I called to see if my contacts were in yet she told me she called already (which she didn’t) when I questioned where she left a message she told me she couldn’t tell me, and simply hung up without a good bye. The young girls are all so pleasant… I’ll just have to make my appt. when only they are working if possible.

Love coming in here. They are professional and friendly and know how to work with my kids. Helped me get into a new pair of glasses quickly! Thanks Cheryl and Dr. Abelson!

Dr. Abelson was very nice, professional, and quick! He’s very good at what he does, and his prices are excellent. I highly recommend him. Oh, and his office staff is super helpful!

It’s so funny to read these nasty reviews because I’ve been going to Dr. Abelson for years and have had nothing but good experiences. Cheryl, the office manager, is a trooper and goes out of her way to make sure you are happy and taken care of. The practice has grown so much over these past few years and Cheryl handles it all with dignity and professionalism. If I had one suggestion for Dr. Abelson it would be that he needs to hire a full-​time receptionist to give Cheryl a little more support! But I have nothing but good things to say about that office. I have referred many of my friends to them and take my entire family to Dr. Abelson and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Great doctor terrific exam. But his receptionist is always exasperated and rude. But the office was clean so I’ll be back. Sad part is I paid over 169 $for year supply of contacts and I took over 6 weeks since i paid and still not one call. Wish i could give more raves but… He needs new reception.

OK, i hate to do this but I dont like being bs’d very much. im torn between 2 and 3 and being nice.
PROS– great doctor who knows his stuff. they hooked me up with a pair of lenses when i ran out free of charge and did followups for my corneal ulcer for free which is awesome
CONS– i dont like that they push a specific brand of contacts and make it difficult for you to get a copy of ur eye script. i was told that i had to get reexamed for the brand I wanted to buy online and when I didnt fall for that and told the receptionist it was law for them to provide it upon request they did so… but i still had to wait till the doctor was in to approve it. there are 4 numbers on my lens box. If my original exam didnt cover those 4 measurements then I was not given a contact lense exam, i was given a brand specidifc exam which is not what I wanted. Im not sure why I was told I would have to retest but I didnt have to once I put up a stink on the phone. I didnt like the lenses I was fit for there. ive never had a problem with Acuvue but I did with the Hydra. BOTTOM LINE– dont make it difficult to get what ur customers pay for from u

Dr. Abelson is wonderful, along with his receptionists! I went in to get a contact fitting and a vision exam. I was attended fairly quick, since I had an appointment. The doctor is very funny and definitely cleared up all the questions I had for him about my vision. He gave the best professional advice and addressed all my concerns. Also, this was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back! Not to mention, the prices are very fair!

Absolutely terrific doctor! He was so personable and funny, he made the visit SO easy and thoroughly explained my prescription and addressed all of my eye issues. The eye doctor I had before prescribed the wrong type of lenses which were causing me vision problems and Dr. Abelson recognized they were the wrong lenses before I even mentioned that my current lenses were causing me problems!
I wish all of my doctors were as awesome and thorough as Dr. Abelson. I would highly recommend his services and I am so happy I have found my go-​to eye doctor.

2 stars may be overrating this place.
I have 3 different experiences.
1) Went in because I lost my glasses. Got an appointment with Dr. Abelson and was in and out. I didn’t like this because it was so informal and quick. If felt rushed, and there was hardly any «bedside manner». No conversation. Just read the chart. It was awkward and so short. He gave me my new prescription and told me the old lady in the front would be of assistance from there. This lady. Oh my gosh. Well this day she was very helpful and sweet, when I was purchasing something. Well that was time 1.
2) My glasses broke while in the 1 year warranty. (I got a defective pair) The same older lady in the front who’s always there told me they didn’t have that frame but had an almost identical pair. She literally took them off the shelf and popped my lenses out the ones I bought into the new pair. I didn’t think anything of it, I didn’t know you could just pop lenses out, but whatever. I left and the dang lenses didn’t fit right. There is a space just big enough that’s noticeable from the edge of the lens to the frame. (I didn’t think anything of it until the screw kept coming out)-I took to another place to get it fixed and they told me what she did was just astonishing and highly stupid because the lenses were making the screw break because they were too tall!
3) The screw came out again and I took it in to get it fixed last week. She completely ignored my statement about the lenses not fitting and just went to fix the screw. The stupid screw wouldn’t cooperate so she started grunting and then huffing and puffing attempting to fix it. Then she came to me and asked me to wait for the doctor to get there to fix it. Lol I informed her I cannot drive without them or see. She turned around and continued to huff and puff and then finally she got them. It was so uncomfortable to sit there and deal with her making me feel like I was this huge pain in the ass for coming in to get my frames put back together.
This place is just overly unfriendly, and reading the last few reviews I feel severely jipped. This place has potential but I don’t think she is as friendly as she needs to be. Also, if she could hang up the phone while I’m there speaking to her that would be a good start. Instead of sitting there yapping to her friends on the office phone. Obviously not about work. Making me wait so you can have a casual conversation while I’m balancing 2 toddlers from destroying your store? C’mon lady. Get it together.

I stopped in to have a non prescription lens replaced in my sunglasses. The doctor and his staff were super helpful. They had a great pair of gradient lenses and were able to fit them on site! Within twenty minutes my favorite pair of sunglasses was functioning again! All for only 40 dollars. Will definitely return for any other optic needs!

Excellent doctor in family friendly environment. Discovered him almost a year ago when my insurance changed. Love that he’s located right across from the high school where I shop. So happy with my progressive glasses that I ordered same version for sunglasses! Plus, I feel very comfortable going in to get my glasses adjusted or repaired. Would definitely recommend Dr. Abelson and his staff for their professionalism and great pricing. Who knew pricing could vary so much from doctor to doctor!

I went to Dr Abelson, since he took my insurance and was close to my house. The office is nice, clean and the visit started on time. Their selection of frames that are covered by insurance was really good and very modern. The lab took two days to get them back. Easy, easy, easy! Highly recommended by my wife and I.

This was my first time visit. After going 6 years without new glasses, I decided to try this Dr. out. I am glad I did. Dr. Abelson made me feel comfortable, and explained everything he was doing. Advised me about buying «extras» for my specs as they already come with. (Kind of like undercoating for your car) Got new glasses with all the «bells and whistles» and saved me 200.00 over the cost of my old glasses. I’ll be back soon for sunglasses, and then my yearly checkup!
